This study investigates the effects of multitasking on student learning performance within post-pandemic classrooms, highlighting its relevance to Education 5.0 in the Philippines. By using a Quantitative Experimental design, twenty-eight college students were divided into two groups; one was allowed to use mobile devices during lectures, and the other group was not allowed to use mobile devices. The results revealed that students who engaged in multitasking scored significantly lower on post-lecture assessments compared to those who focused solely on the discussion. The findings demonstrate that divided attention caused by the usage of mobile devices negatively affects their comprehension and learning retention. The study contributes to understanding how technology-driven behaviors can influence academic outcomes and can highlight the need for instructional designs that promote focus, digital discipline, and human-centric learning. By aligning with the principles of Education 5.0, this research emphasizes the importance of balancing the integration of technology and having effective cognitive engagement in the current educational landscape.
